What critics compared Closed Curtain to
(Much happens offscreen, while the first and last shots which recall the ending of Antonioni's "The Passenger" - are long, static ones through heavy window gates, as forbidding as prison bars).
Like Inland Empire or Synecdoche, New York, Closed Curtain examines the very nature of storytelling in a twisting, postmodern way.
